News Elden Ring 'Really the Limit' for How Large FromSoftware's Games Can Be
Size matters
Elden Ring is a monstrous beast by most video game metrics, but according to developer FromSoftware, the size and scale on display are about the limit of what the studio can manage without compromise.

Focus
Capcom seems to be gearing up for a blowout on Monster Hunter Wilds. The highly anticipated action RPG is currently targeting a vague '2025' release window, but we wouldn't be at all surprised to see it land in the first few months of the year, so that the publisher can have a potential juggernaut on its fiscal year reports.
